I find that's often the case. Those who are higher up in the pecking order like to throw their weight around, they're fond of making demands and then pointing the finger when those requests fall south. The people here are not on an even footing, they're canon fodder, and LILITH will not waste a second in proving that if it's what they need to do.

( He sips his drink, offers a gusty sigh. )

But what can we do? Very little. I'd rather be canon fodder than nothing at all.
